    wet weather is here in norcal

    If you want a rain boot with decent ankle protection, Alpinestars makes a decent pair. I actually crashed in the rain with these and if it weren't for the ankle protectors on these boots, my left ankle could have been crushed rather than sprained. Check these out: Ridge Waterproof Boots Very...

    Honda releases the 2010 VFR1200

    eh, new styling isn't for me at the moment, but I am sure I will get used to it and actually might like it if I continue looking at it long enough. Except for that exhaust, I agree with Hellgate, it is UGLY. As a VFR owner of 4 months, I am really sorry to see the current VFR go. The vfr was...

    Fire owns Angeles Crest

    The fire here in Southern California has been going on for some time now, but I didn't know how big it was until i read this article. The only two mountain roads close to me are Angeles Crest and Azusa Canyon and they are both going through a fire. The only other road that I know with some...

    fz600 1987

    Possibly too much oil? I've never had oil spewing out of the breather, but I've had gasoline flow out of it because of stuck float needles in the carb float bowls.

    suzuki gsx 650f or fz6

    If I were given the choice, I would choose the FZ6 because... Price: FZ6 is more affordable Features: centerstand, center mounted undertail exhaust Engine: I prefer the FZ6's high reving 600cc motor over the torque rich 656cc motor Weight: FZ6 is much lighter than the GSX650F Looks: I really...

    Helmet smelling a bit gamey?

    In my psychology of sexuality class, it is said that the scent of a man's sweat can calm and soothe a woman. It can also arouse her as well. Not sure if it works the other way around, but when my girlfriend walks by me, naughty thoughts fill the mind. Back to the topic of smelly helmets, I...

    How often do you clean your radiator

    I used to wash it everytime I washed the bike, which is every time I clean the chain, which is approximately once every month.

    1991 Nissan 240sx

    These are gettng rarer and rarer. I'd jump on one if I had the place to put it and the cash. Plus with a few simple mods and possibly an engine swap, these can go really really fast. No where near as fast as the FZ of course, but fast enough for a car =]

    What is your bad habit on your bike?

    My bad habit is leaving the keys in the helmet lock. I ALWAYS forget it and its annoying.

    Do you drive/park on sidewalks?

    Sometimes when its really congested or if I just don't want to get into traffic to get into the neighboring plaza, I just ride down the sidewalk. Now when i say ride, I mean I'm barely moving at 3-5 mph. I don't see any harm in that whatsoever. About parking on sidewalks, well, I think thats...

    Twist the Throttle Series

    I got this from the kawasaki zx6 forum. Its a really cool series and they talk about the history of different manufacturers. It's really cool. If you like motorcycles, check it out. Check under the motorcycle section Turbo

    Helmet Choices

    HJC FS-10 Very affordable helmet, adequate venting, lighter, quieter and more compact than the CL-15. On the bad side, it fogs up way too easily, but the Pinlock pretty much eliminates windshield fogging.

    Bridgestone BT016 Review

    I bought one of these for my rear tire. So far I've only had it for about 1,000 miles. Grip seems to be good; I don't usually give it a lot of throttle going out of turns so I hardly ever approach its limits, but I do take turns pretty fast and these hold up very nicely. Initial turn-in is very...
